Tohono Chul Botanical Garden and Gallery

Tohono Chul is a neat little place in Tucson, Arizona. It's part garden, part natural space, part art gallery. Picture lots of winding little paths through flowers and trees, full of hummingbirds and bees and butterflies. There's a riparian area, with a running stream. There are lots of benches and chairs and even some swinging seats, inviting you to take your time and enjoy the space. Among the gardens are sculptures and other types of art, ramadas providing shade and shelter, gift shops, and an art gallery.

Love this place so much, I joined as a member. Expect more trips to show up here.

Sharp green leaves with white veins and black tips End of a prickly pear pad with three stages of fruiting: one flower in bloom, one flower faded and closed, and one kind of socket where the flower has fallen out Tiny yellow flowers and tiny red fruits on some type of cylindrical cactus Large pale pink flower rising from a pincushion cactus Close up of red spines on a green cactus with white accents A stem of tiny flowers, dark pink on the outside and soft yellow on the inside Flower fluff and empty sepals in star shapes Dark brown lizard with spiny scales and lighter tan and reddish patches Close up of pink flowers against a green background A yellow flower with long spurs pointing down A messy view of grasslike stems and clusters of tiny white round flowers, with bees
